All infrastructure projects must comply with appropriate building codes. Wiring/cabling for a building’s computer network services and telephone system infrastructure include the following:
Networked multimedia computers (servers) with 200-volt UPS, surge suppression, and printer
Surge protector for computers or built-in surge protection for circuits at the demarcation demark point inside the building
HVAC systems that adequately control temperature and humidity
Uninterruptible power supply
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is an important part of a comprehensive power delivery system (Technical Services Group, 2006). It consists of continuously recharging batteries; when a power supply interruption occurs, the UPS ensures the system continues to operate for several minutes. This allows time for the operating system to shut down and prevent data loss. All network equipment should be plugged into a UPS.
When selecting a UPS, consider the load rating. This is the maximum amount of load, expressed in amps and watts, that can be supported. In addition, 30 minutes of battery backup should be provided for file servers and systems.
